I am Peter III, Emperor of the Hexagon of the Goose Kingdom

Chapter 118 The Speaker's Proposal, Cultural Double Saints

"Grow potatoes to feed more people to achieve population growth."

- Population Policy Program

……

After talking about the population plan, Peter paused for a moment, called the guards and said:
"Go and invite Countess Roman."

"Yes!"

Vorontsov looked a little strange. Countess Roman is the wife of his younger brother. She has been in the palace recently. There are rumors that the Countess has an unclear relationship with His Majesty, and he does not know whether it is true or not.

But now he hopes it's true.

After all, don't talk about the emperor, who doesn't have a few mistresses in the big nobles to talk to others?
And when the countess was in the palace with her niece in her arms, her younger brother really let go, spending time and drinking everywhere, he couldn't be too happy.

If His Majesty really takes a fancy to the countess, the Vorontsov family will only be more favored.

Moreover, Bestutev will not talk too much about this matter. Vorontsov knows that Bestutev is very concerned about Ekaterina, who has German ancestry.

Although His Majesty also has German blood, but now there is nothing to do.

In order to guard against Prussia, Bestutev would definitely want to see part of Ekaterina's favor divided.

The others didn't understand why a countess was called, but they all kept silent and waited silently.

Soon, Vivienne arrived, Peter stood up, and other ministers also stood up one after another, all looking at each other in blank dismay.

Why did you give the Countess such a big deal?

Could it be that His Majesty really has something to do with the Countess?

The countess was very dignified, and she was terrified at this moment, especially after seeing the people present.

"His Majesty!"

Vivienne bowed deeply, waiting for Peter's instructions.

Peter took the Countess's hand and motioned for her to sit beside him, causing everyone to look sideways.

Then Peter ordered the maid to bring a pen and paper, and said:

"You should write down what we discussed."

That's right, Vivienne was asked to come to take the minutes of the meeting.

Out of confidentiality, the other ministers did not have paper and pen. He kept the minutes of the meeting for himself, for the reference of later emperors, and these were the basis for later generations to evaluate him.

He doesn't care about comments, but he still thinks it's better to keep some information. After all, he might have the opportunity to display it in a future museum.

After more than 40 words of Peter Ai's training, he believed that Vivienne's hand speed was sufficient.

Vivienne took the order to sit down, and the door of the conference room palace was closed again.

The population policy was settled, and Peter looked at Nikita Trubetskoy.

Trubetskoy is both prince and speaker of parliament.

When the queen did not issue an order, the things agreed by the parliament would become laws, and even the specific use of the national treasury was allocated by the parliament.

But now it is an absolute monarchy, and Queen Elizabeth's period is not so much an enlightened monarchy as it is that she doesn't want to take care of so many things.

She wants to be a beautiful woman more.

But the power of the king is placed there.

Peter said:

"Prince, do you have any suggestions for improvement in terms of law?"

Being named, Prince Trubetskoy was a little dazed and anxious.

The affairs of the parliament basically go through the motions. The Privy Council makes suggestions. Where money is used, they judge whether it is passed based on the funds of the treasury. The last time a large sum of money was spent was the enthronement ceremony of His Majesty.

But now ask him to propose?

Trubetskoy panicked.

Peter went further:

"Any proposal that can serve culture and administration is fine."

culture... culture...

Trubetskoy racked his brains and imagined wildly, his eyes suddenly lit up and said:

"Your Majesty, I suggest that the whole country should legislate and set up a dance festival every Tuesday. Dance will make everyone happy, and there will be fewer troubles."

He then thought of the Queen's hobbies.

"Don't you think it's too much to have a dance festival every Tuesday?"

Peter spoke.

No way, the eighteenth-century government affairs meeting should be simple and not too demanding, and it is best not to laugh at any opinions put forward by the courtiers.

Even if Parliament appears ignorant.

For example, one morning during Ye Er's time, when members of parliament discussed a remote area in Russia, Ye Er clearly saw that these people didn't know the location of this area.

Ye Er suggested that these people look at the map first, but they couldn't find the map in the venue, so Ye Er called the herald, took out five rubles from his handbag, and ordered the herald to go to the Academy of Sciences, and bring them from there. a map.

Members finally knew where the place where they had been discussing for a long time, and then Ye Er sent the map to the parliament, and sent a letter to all members on June 1763, 6:
"It cannot be said that you lack sincere concern for my well-being, and that of all your subjects, but I have to regret to say that many things did not turn out as expected."

Thanks to knowing a little more historical knowledge, Peter did not laugh, but asked seriously.

He felt that at this time, he had the posture of Ye Er holding a meeting in the Ye Er TV series he saw in his previous life.

When there is no major conflict, it is like chatting.

Prince Trubetskoy hesitated and said:
"Your Majesty, how about setting up a dance festival twice a year on Her Majesty's birthday and Your Majesty's birthday?"

Peter smiled and nodded, appreciating:

"It's a good idea. If you have fun with the people, the queen will like it too. Very good!"

Overjoyed by the emperor's approval, Trubetskoy began to relax.

"However, since it is held twice a year, then don't call it the Dance Festival, let's call it the Double Emperors Festival."

"During the Double Emperor's Day, there are a total of ten days off. Not only dancing, but also other entertainment activities are allowed. The tax on commercial activities set during these ten days is halved, and corporal punishment of serfs is not allowed."

Peter added.

"Yes!"

Trubetskoy smiled happily and respectfully accepted the order.

The Countess Roman saw Peter lashing out at Fang Qiu, writing in her hand, and her eyes were full of admiration.

Vorontsov saw all this.

"Okay, the prince proposed the Double Emperor's Day, do you have anything else to say?"

"Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications, you will present the decree later, and I will sign it."

"Yes!"

Time was quiet for a while, everyone was thinking about what to add.

Peter couldn't help smiling.

Three Stooges are the best, and Trubetskoy did not expect this festival until he made his opinion.

His birthday and his aunt's birthday add up to only ten days, which is not too much in this period.

You must know that when returning to St. Petersburg from Moscow, the officials wanted to ask for leave for several months or even half a year.

Moreover, he made a fundamentally inconspicuous change to the serfs on this festival. These ministers didn't realize it, and thought he made the decree in a good mood.

Serf... Boil the frog in warm water, cook it slowly.

Vivienne's recording hand stopped, and Peter noticed that she hesitated to speak, and said:

"Countess, when you are being honest, you can say whatever you want."

The others were stunned for a moment. They were thinking seriously just now and didn't pay attention to the Countess. Now, seeing His Majesty's attitude, they couldn't help but look at the Countess.
